Fruit uneaten to the seed, A glance at the heavens Halting inescapable rot, Here it lays brown and withered. A chronic flicker of a lamp In the corner of the room A temperament that festers Frustrated at the change of endeavours, Waning moons missing pieces, Resentful, longing for the sun Indescribable hunger for a glimmer over torrential nights, Yearning like a fire Begs to be fed Reaching out to darkness The bed, now half slept. Restlessness crawls within bones A tormenting Unrelenting Wind in the cold, A soft low hum within the safety of four Walls, An unrecognisable sound Without an ear, joyful to be here at all. Fruit will soon bitter with frosty mornings, Unnurtured, I plant myself in grounds Sullen with the season.

Fruit.
my heart is filled to the brim with the sweet nothings, that dance merrily upon my tongue. they yearn for you, can you see them?

waiting.
flowing hair, crowned with white and yellow flowers by boredom now entangled by the summer breeze I wear a dress, and upon my thighs is a book, stained with my now drying tears. my dimples gleam in the bright sun, my heart as pure and light as the white dogs tumbling playfully around me serenity in my heart, you on my mind, this is how it should be.

I can be unreasonably passionate about nothing or something consisting of simple touches, small gestures, even certain words. but when I began to find that even the sweetest looking apples were almost always sour everything changed.

I want to learn a new language that I can forget you in.

Language
just a glimpse into what happy could be in someone’s arms is enough to have me floating for weeks. the reality is, what goes up must come down, and I come down every time crashing.

Madness
The bed is empty again. Warmth settles in the void now reclaimed by neatly tucked sheet corners and a fading memory in the mattress. A wayward dream of soft snores begging to come true One pillow recovering from a restless night, the other frozen like marble. Too foreign to be disturbed. Too real to be dismissed. Too distant to be admired
